Mark Fletcher

Managing Director

My first encounter with the outdoors was on my father’s shoulders heading up Scafell Pike in the Lake District. This early experience fostered a deep appreciation for the outdoors which I continue to explore whenever I can. My passion for the great outdoors is explored mainly in the mountains, whether this is abseiling into a canyon or exploring some of the amazing rock climbing we have on offer here in the UK. This is where you will find me at my happiest.

John Pooley

Director

Since my first kayak session at age 8, I have been hooked on kayaking and adventure sports. I have been working in the outdoors since 1999, delivering watersports and adventurous activities to many different people all over the UK and Central Europe as well as rafting in the Canadian Rockies. Starting out on the coast with lots of sailing, sea and surf kayaking, I moved inland onto local rivers where my passion for whitewater developed. When I’m not leading groups I am always on the lookout for my next adventure!

A senior kayak instructor and expedition leader, I have been leading outdoor activities since 2005, with a wide client base. I am super passionate about exploring what can be done in the outdoors and believe there are no boundaries to what can be achieved in outdoor and adventurous activities. I love a practical joke and am always optimistic. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe and America and know that the best feeling in the world comes from achieving adventure!
